Easter Finger play
Five little
Easter eggs, lovely colors wore
Mother ate the blue one, then there were four
Four little Easter eggs, two and two you see
Daddy ate the red one, then there were three
Three little Easter eggs, before I knew
Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two
Two little Easter egg, Oh what fun
Brother ate the purple one, then there was one
One little Easter egg, see me run
I ate the last one, and then there were none
14.Meeting the Easter Bunny -- by Rowena Bennett,
1930
On Easter morn
at early dawn
before the cocks were crowing
I met a bob-tail bunnykin
and asked where he was going.
"Tis in the house and out the house
a-tispy, tipsy-toeing,
Tis round the house and 'bout the house
a-lighlty I am going."
"But what is that of every hue
you carry in your basket?"
"Tis eggs of gold and eggs of blue;
I wonder that you ask it.
"Tis chocolate
eggs and bonbon eggs
and eggs of red and gray,
For every child in every house
on bonny Easter day."
He perked his ears and winked his eye
and twitched his little nose;
He shook his tail -- what tail he had --
and stood up on his toes.
"I must be gone before the sun;
the east is growing gray;
Tis almost time for bells to chime." --
So he hippety-hopped away.
15.EASTER IS GOD'S PROMISE
…….By --Amanda Bradley
Easter is a promise
God renews to us each spring
A promise that we'll always have Him there,
And like the flowers that bloom so bright
And birds that sweetly sing,
We always will receive His tender care,
A promise that He'll hold us up
Each time we start to fall
And see us through each hour of care and strife.
Easter is God's promise
That His love rules over all,
And through Him
We will have eternal life.

16.JESUS
LOVES US ALL SO MUCH ………By----
M.S.Lowndes
Jesus loves us all so much
That He would bleed and die
He took upon His beaten back
The cross that saw Him crucified
Yes He loved us all so much
That He was scorned and scoffed
He took it all upon Himself
For it was the will of God
God knew it was the only way
The final sacrifice
Jesus Christ a sinless man
Would need to give His life
And even in the gift He gave
We still have not yet known
The fullness of His mighty love
And the grace so freely shown
All He asks is that we all
Repent and follow Him
For He has made the way for us
Free from hurt and sin
Yes God loved us all so much
And yes He loves us still
He longs for us to trust in Him
And do the Fathers will
17. Easter Bonnet …. By Irving Berlin
In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon
it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
I'll be all in clover, and when they look you
over
I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
In my Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it,
I'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.
You'll be all in clover, and when they look me
over
you’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter
Parade.
On the Avenue, Fifth Avenue,
The photographers will snap us
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.
Oh, you may write a sonnet about my Easter bonnet
And of the girl you're taking to the Easter Parade.
